Steph's Review:5 StarsWhat can I say? I LOVE the LOVE SERIES!I couldn't be happier to finally get Cooper and Jay's story. This "are they/aren't they couple" always piqued my curiosity since book one!Cooper, ugh...sometimes I wanted to nut punch him and tell him to STOP acting like a little bitch and man the fuck up. Damn. I mean I get the "why" behind his hesitance to take their relationship to that next level, his fears always controlled his emotions. Jay is one tough bitch. I didn't realize just how strong she actually was until it was revealed what she has been going through....I always assumed that she was content with being the pretty, shy wallflower, happy to be in the background. Not, so much.We get plenty of gang interaction with Hunter and Kenzie, Mason, Hailey and the babies. Which is wonderful!There is surprise at the end, which gave me mixed emotions. Only because there is yet another cliff hanger. I thought the Love Series had come full circle with LMLY. But don't get it twisted, I'll be all over the next book faster than a whore can het on her back!I adore Megan Smith. She is super talented with the unique ability to bring to life engaging characters that you can't help but fall in love with.5 STARS

Excerpt:

“Yo man, have you seen Jay?” I ask Eli who came to the party with us.

He shakes his head, “Last I saw she was sitting on the couch over there
with Kevin.”

My stomach drops. Kevin’s the campus drug dealer. He used to be a tight end
for the football team in our freshman year at college but was kicked off the
team after drugs were found in his dorm. He’s from New Jersey too, but he lived
up north and actually went to high school with Eli in Hoboken. Eli said he used
to be really popular until he started hanging out with the wrong crowd.

I drop my arm from around Courtney, the girl I was planning on taking home,
and go to try and find Jaylinn. Fuck, I knew I shouldn’t have brought her with
me but I couldn’t tell her no. All that girl has to do is bat her eye lashes
and I’d cave.

I search the whole downstairs of the frat house for her and Kevin but they
are nowhere to be seen. Panic starts to set in, chilling me to the bone. I race
up the stairs, three on the right, three on the left and one straight back. The
first door opens and some guy is standing there that I don’t recognize, pulling
a shirt over his head. I check the bed to make sure Jaylinn isn’t there. I do
this to the next five doors; all were opened and occupied but Jaylinn wasn’t in
any of them. I get to the last door on the left; it’s dark so I reach around
the wall for a light switch. I flick it on and the room is empty.

“Where the fuck is she?” I roar.

I slam the door shut and stamp to the last door. My heart rate spikes
causing a swooshing sound in my ears, my body shakes with rage. I turn the door
knob, it’s locked. I bang on it, “Jaylinn,” Nothing, complete silence.

Something isn’t right. My stomach knots and I try banging on the door a few
times, hoping someone is just passed out and can’t hear me. After a minute I
can’t take it anymore and I ram my shoulder into the door. Once, twice, and
finally it gives way.

My heart stops, I can’t breathe and my vision blurs.
